Discussion: Another selection from 'The Rye Baker'. This is a relatively easy bread to make in that there is a scald and an orange infusion added to the main dough. The crumb is quite tender and has a really nice orange scent and flavor from the infusion. I found the crust to be a little soft but Stanley describes his a crunchy so it must be an error on my part. Nonetheless, I find the crust tender and chewy. I find that the scald really does unlock the sweetness of rye grains and with the substitution of honey for syrup/molasses only adds to the gentle sweetness of the bread.
Make again? - Yes definitely.
